Chickadee has been busy since Thanksgiving! She got the second dose of the COVID-19 vaccine:
And she added Christmas colors to her braces…next month, she gets to have brackets placed on her bottom teeth, too!
I’m looking forward to more fun and excitement in the coming weeks!
The moment we’ve been waiting for finally arrived…on Saturday, Chickadee received the first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine!
For as long as I’ve shopped with Erstwilder, they’ve had a remembrance collection featuring poppy pieces, which not only serves as a way to honor those who have lost their lives in the defense of freedom, but also supports RSL Victoria’s Poppy and ANZAC Appeals, which aids current and ex-service men and women and their families. This year, they added a brooch to the collection featuring rosemary, which has long been used as a symbol of fidelity and remembrance.
I purposefully chose to wear this brooch today, the day I received the second dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, in memory of the many, many people around the world who lost their lives too soon to this horrible virus. May we never forget how quickly our lives can change, and may we remember them.
I have never before understood the phrase “Today is the first day of the rest of your life” like I did this morning upon receiving the first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, but now I’m having a major moment.
